User Reviews
Pros
+New music
+Red Mode is more pleasant to the eyes
+Co-op mode
Cons
-Shield unit doesn't add much
-Lackluster singleplayer campaign (you might as well generate missions in the base game)
I haven't tried co-op mode but, for singleplayer, it isn't worth getting.
Nice addon for nice game.
had no problems whatsoever with the main game but with this dlc the music constantly bugs out and cuts off awkwardly all the time. unbearable.
as for the content of the dlc, it doesn't really add much, I breezed through the small amount of content in 2 hours. you get 15 missions and they added 1 new unit (riot shield). The unit is not fun at all and thus the missions are pretty boring since you get a lot of missions of grenade throwers and riot shield. I'd maybe recommend the DLC for diehard fans of the basegame if they get it at a high discount. This content is nowhere near worth 10 dollars. Overall disappointing.
That is an amazing DLC! The most important part is the riot shield and bouncing grenades off it. Also, they've added co-op mode, which is....Well... Awesome!
The campaign would have been enjoyable if the maps weren't randomised and the positions of your units weren't scattered all across the map.
Don't bother buying this DLC until this has been fixed.
If you want to try it find someone who did buy this DLC and ask him/her to host a game.
